When a bunch of Aussie celebrities was asked about living forever, only one of them, Wil Anderson, decided that he’d rather die tomorrow. The other answers ranged from living on top of a mountain with a pack of wolves eating cake and drinking gin to still having plenty fish to catch and wanting to see plenty more Crows premierships.

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit
How many times has someone pulled the wool over your eyes? This used to happen to me all the time. I simply believed whatever anyone told me. I know that this is not necessarily a smart thing to do and considered to be gullible or naieve but just the same I always gave everyone the benefit of the doubt.
Once I started to read the Bible in earnest I found many different guidelines as to how to determine if someone is honest and straightforward or not. This particular Scripture quote on Scripture card E gives us one of these guidelines.
Jesus tells us to beware of false prophets and he explains how to recognise them. It is rather straightforward; good people produce good results and bad people get bad results.
Have you ever seen anyone carefully selecting all the rotten apples to be taken to a good place? No, me neither.
If you can think of other scripture quotes or non-biblical ways to find out cheats, I’ll be happy to hear about it.

The creed to, Do unto others as we would like them to do unto us,’ is commonly known as the Golden Rule and virtually all religions teach their followers to live by some kind of variation of this rule.
In the book of Luke it is mentioned as, ‘And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
Apostle Matthew recorded that Jesus pretty much summed up all moral guidelines in one sentence when he said, ‘Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.’

When I was little I collected postcards of kittens and puppies. As a child I slept in the attic and had rows of these ‘cute’ postcards pinned to the wooden beams above my bed. No one I know would refer to pictures of kittens and puppies as idols. But what about movie stars and sports heros? What about the cult figures of children’s tv programs and xbox super heros? TV and other celebrities, pornography? Would we classify these cartoons, actors and images as idols?
What is an idol?
First ask Google
What does the word idol mean? I like to keep things simple so when I try to find out the meaning of a word I first ask Google. Google tells me that an idol is an image or representation of a god used as an object of worship. And according to Google an idol is also a person or thing that is greatly admired, loved or revered.
What Google tells us is that the word ‘idol’ is derived from the words ‘image’ and ‘likeness.’
Then ask Microsoft
Remember I like to keep things simple but I also want to verify that what Google tells me is agreed upon, so after I ask Google I go to Microsoft Word and right-click with my mouse on the word ‘idol’ and what shows are the words: hero, pinup, star, obsession, ideal, favorite, pin-up and statue.
According to these definitions, my pinned-up cute little kittens and puppies were classified as idols after all.
check with Wikepedia
By now I am convinced about what idols are but for good measure I ask the people’s encyclopedia Wikepedia which tells me the same thing once more.
All the above definitions agree with the biblical meaning of the word idol. Sounds to me that according to apostle John we’re not to have idols of any kind.
